We were driving home from Mexico when we reached the
border town to the U.S., the husbird gets pulled over for speeding. The
speed limits in Mexico are ridiculous. First of all they are in
kilometers, so you have to figure out what they actually are. We were
on the outskirts of town and the speed limit was about 25 mph and the husbird
was going probably about 39 mph. The speed limit should probably be 40
to 50, but I digress.

The cop tells him that we need to come with him to go somewhere to pay. We didn’t have any cash with us, so the husbird tells the cop we have five kids and a fifteen hour drive ahead of us and convinces him to take some really delicious homemade chex mix instead of paying anything. Can you believe it? He must have been really hungry. Ha ha. It doesn't hurt that the husbird speaks Spanish.

Here's a funny time lapse video of us traveling. We were obviously eating oranges. Maybe we should have offered some oranges to the cop as well.
